QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW

public static final int QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW

High speed ( >= 100fps) quality level corresponding to the lowest available resolution.

For all the high speed profiles defined below ((from QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW to QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_2160P), they are similar as normal recording profiles, with just higher output frame rate and bit rate. Therefore, setting these profiles with MediaRecorder.setProfile without specifying any other encoding parameters will produce high speed videos rather than slow motion videos that have different capture and output (playback) frame rates. To record slow motion videos, the application must set video output (playback) frame rate and bit rate appropriately via MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate and MediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate based on the slow motion factor. If the application intends to do the video recording with MediaCodec encoder, it must set each individual field of MediaFormat similarly according to this CamcorderProfile.

audioBitRate

public int audioBitRate

The target audio output bit rate in bits per second

audioChannels

public int audioChannels

The number of audio channels used for the audio track

audioCodec

public int audioCodec

The audio encoder being used for the audio track.

audioSampleRate

public int audioSampleRate

The audio sampling rate used for the audio track

duration

public int duration

Default recording duration in seconds before the session is terminated. This is useful for applications like MMS has limited file size requirement.

fileFormat

public int fileFormat

The file output format of the camcorder profile

quality

public int quality

The quality level of the camcorder profile

videoBitRate

public int videoBitRate

The target video output bit rate in bits per second

This is the target recorded video output bit rate if the application configures the video recording via MediaRecorder.setProfile without specifying any other MediaRecorder encoding parameters. For example, for high speed quality profiles (from QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW to QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_2160P), this is the bit rate where the video is recorded with. If the application intends to record slow motion videos with the high speed quality profiles, it must set a different video bit rate that is corresponding to the desired recording output bit rate (i.e., the encoded video bit rate during normal playback) via MediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate. For example, if QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_720P advertises 240fps videoFrameRate and 64Mbps videoBitRate in the high speed CamcorderProfile, and the application intends to record 1/8 factor slow motion recording videos, the application must set 30fps via MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate and 8Mbps ( videoBitRate * slow motion factor) via MediaRecorder.setVideoEncodingBitRate. Failing to do so will result in videos with unexpected frame rate and bit rate, or MediaRecorder error if the output bit rate exceeds the encoder limit. If the application intends to do the video recording with MediaCodec encoder, it must set each individual field of MediaFormat similarly according to this CamcorderProfile.

videoCodec

public int videoCodec

The video encoder being used for the video track

videoFrameHeight

public int videoFrameHeight

The target video frame height in pixels

videoFrameRate

public int videoFrameRate

The target video frame rate in frames per second.

This is the target recorded video output frame rate per second if the application configures the video recording via MediaRecorder.setProfile without specifying any other MediaRecorder encoding parameters. For example, for high speed quality profiles (from QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW to QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_2160P), this is the frame rate where the video is recorded and played back with. If the application intends to create slow motion use case with the high speed quality profiles, it must set a different video frame rate that is corresponding to the desired output (playback) frame rate via MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate. For example, if QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_720P advertises 240fps videoFrameRate in the CamcorderProfile, and the application intends to create 1/8 factor slow motion recording videos, the application must set 30fps via MediaRecorder.setVideoFrameRate. Failing to do so will result in high speed videos with normal speed playback frame rate (240fps for above example). If the application intends to do the video recording with MediaCodec encoder, it must set each individual field of MediaFormat similarly according to this CamcorderProfile.

videoFrameWidth

public int videoFrameWidth

The target video frame width in pixels

get

public static CamcorderProfile get (int quality)

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
Use getAll(String, int) instead

Returns the default camcorder profile at the given quality level for the first back-facing camera on the device. If the device has no back-facing camera, this returns null.

get

public static CamcorderProfile get (int cameraId, 
                int quality)

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
Use getAll(String, int) instead

Returns the default camcorder profile for the given camera at the given quality level. Quality levels QUALITY_LOW, QUALITY_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported, while other levels may or may not be supported. The supported levels can be checked using hasProfile(int, int). QUALITY_LOW refers to the lowest quality available, while QUALITY_HIGH refers to the highest quality available. QUALITY_LOW/QUALITY_HIGH have to match one of qcif, cif, 480p, 720p, 1080p or 2160p. E.g. if the device supports 480p, 720p, 1080p and 2160p, then low is 480p and high is 2160p. The same is true for time lapse quality levels, i.e. QUALITY_TIME_LAPSE_LOW, QUALITY_TIME_LAPSE_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported and have to match one of qcif, cif, 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 2160p. For high speed quality levels, they may or may not be supported. If a subset of the levels are supported, QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW and QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported and have to match one of 480p, 720p, or 1080p. A camcorder recording session with higher quality level usually has higher output bit rate, better video and/or audio recording quality, larger video frame resolution and higher audio sampling rate, etc, than those with lower quality level.

getAll

public static EncoderProfiles getAll (String cameraId, 
                int quality)

Returns all encoder profiles of a camcorder profile for the given camera at the given quality level.

Quality levels QUALITY_LOW, QUALITY_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported, while other levels may or may not be supported. The supported levels can be checked using hasProfile(int, int). QUALITY_LOW refers to the lowest quality available, while QUALITY_HIGH refers to the highest quality available. QUALITY_LOW/QUALITY_HIGH have to match one of qcif, cif, 480p, 720p, 1080p or 2160p. E.g. if the device supports 480p, 720p, 1080p and 2160p, then low is 480p and high is 2160p.

The same is true for time lapse quality levels, i.e. QUALITY_TIME_LAPSE_LOW, QUALITY_TIME_LAPSE_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported and have to match one of qcif, cif, 480p, 720p, 1080p, or 2160p.

For high speed quality levels, they may or may not be supported. If a subset of the levels are supported, QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_LOW and QUALITY_HIGH_SPEED_HIGH are guaranteed to be supported and have to match one of 480p, 720p, or 1080p.

A camcorder recording session with higher quality level usually has higher output bit rate, better video and/or audio recording quality, larger video frame resolution and higher audio sampling rate, etc, than those with lower quality level.

Note: as of Android TIRAMISU, this method can return advanced encoder profiles.

Apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.S_V2 or before will only receive basic video encoder profiles that use output YUV 4:2:0 8-bit content. Apps targeting Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU or above will also receive advanced video encoder profiles that may output 10-bit, YUV 4:2:2/4:4:4 or HDR content.

hasProfile

public static boolean hasProfile (int cameraId, 
                int quality)

Returns true if a camcorder profile exists for the given camera at the given quality level.

When using the Camera 2 API in LEGACY mode (i.e. when CameraCharacteristics.INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL is set to CameraMetadata.INFO_SUPPORTED_HARDWARE_LEVEL_LEGACY), hasProfile(int) may return true for unsupported resolutions. To ensure a a given resolution is supported in LEGACY mode, the configuration given in CameraCharacteristics.SCALER_STREAM_CONFIGURATION_MAP must contain the the resolution in the supported output sizes. The recommended way to check this is with StreamConfigurationMap.getOutputSizes(Class) with the class of the desired recording endpoint, and check that the desired resolution is contained in the list returned.
